 == DESCRIPTION
 
-i3status is a small program (about 1500 SLOC) for generating a status bar for
-i3bar, dzen2, xmobar, lemonbar or similar programs. It is designed to be very
-efficient by issuing a very small number of system calls, as one generally
-wants to update such a status line every second. This ensures that even under
-high load, your status bar is updated correctly. Also, it saves a bit of energy
-by not hogging your CPU as much as spawning the corresponding amount of shell
-commands would.

 format as the separator is drawn by i3bar directly otherwise. For the other

 with the necessary coloring bits if color support is enabled.
